‘Heartstopper’s Joe Locke Wants To Get “Hate-Tweeted By Donald Trump”
Locke and Kit Connor star in the hit Netflix drama about two young men who fall in love.
The show, one of the most popular on the streaming platform across the world, has now reached its third season and made huge stars of its two leads, Locke and Kit Connor. Locke told The Guardian: “This world is a very scary place sometimes, and it feels a bit weird that Heartstopper has almost been immune to that – a lot of queer shows get a lot of hate from rightwing groups, and Heartstopper doesn’t, and I don’t really understand why.” He added that he was ready himself for a straight role: “I get a lot of auditions for more gay teenage characters, very similar parts, and, while they’re great, not that I would not want to play another gay character, but I want to be a versatile actor, not get stamped.”
